Eduardo,

Take one of the floating slider units off and have a close look. There is a sort of clamp in plastic behind the slider, which - when the little plastic tab fits into the tiny rectangular hole you can see from the front of the slider - locks the clamp into place on the metal rod that actuates the lock.

If they are removed with brute force, these clamps may be destroyed. The correct way to remove them is to pull the slider up as hard as possible until you can see the rectangular hole, push a small blade screwdriver in the hole to release the clamp.

Replacing them involved pre-loading the clamp to "almost engaged level" so that a bit of a push will make it clamp down. alternatively, you can pull the tab into its little rectangular hole with the same small screwdriver that you used to release the slider in the first place.

Practise makes perfect.
